IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS HAZARD; HAZARDOUS VAPORS Paint, stain and solvents, insecticides, varnishes, and other materials may be harmful if inhaled, causing severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning. • Use a mask or respirator when spraying when there is a chance of inhaling vapors. • Use protective eyewear. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS The product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
EXTENSION CORDS Use only a three-pronged extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is UL/ETL/CSA listed and is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough for the current - for lengths less than 18 feet use a No. 18 AWG. or heavier, for more than 18 feet use No. 16 AWG. If in doubt use a heavier gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. STORAGE Make sure unit is clean and dry before storing. Store in a dry location. The electrical cord should not be crimped during storage to prevent damage.
WARNING DANGER - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The grounding wire has green insulation, with or without yellow stripes. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figures B & C, may be used to connect the plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet (Figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear lug or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

MODEL PRO 5.5 HOW TO USE MODEL PRO 5.5 PRACTICE FIRST Practice spraying water on newspaper or cardboard. This will give you the feel of the MODEL PRO 5.5 Sprayer and all of its features. Follow the instructions for adjusting to the proper spray pattern. 1. Check the following: See Figure A. • Spray Tip is screwed on tightly. • Remove Container from Cylinder Housing. • Pick-Up Tube inserted tightly into the long port of the Cylinder Housing port located in the Cylinder Housing. 2. Fill Container with water, refasten Container to Cylinder Housing. 3. Plug in Model PRO 5.5. 4. Press Switch. Allow a few seconds for the MODEL PRO 5.5 to spray water. 5. As you spray, notice the difference in spray volume and spray pattern while adjusting the Volume Control Knob. Adjust the Volume Control Knob until you get the best possible spray pattern. NOTE: The best distance for spraying is 10"-12". Too far away may cause excessive over spraying and too close may cause excessive material build-up. See Figure B. 6. Keep a stiff wrist. Do not arch your wrist at the beginning or the end of the stroke. Do not stop the motion of the unit while spraying. The path of the MODEL PRO 5.5 must pass beyond the area being stained and the Switch must be triggered on and off as the MODEL PRO 5.5 passes into and out of the spraying area. See Figure C. NOTE: Stopping the motion of the MODEL PRO 5.5 or swinging into a new stroke pattern while water is being delivered will result in heavy water build-up at the edges of the stroke. MODEL PRO 5.5 THINNING MATERIALS In order for your MODEL PRO 5.5 Sprayer to operate properly it is important to make sure the stain or paint material is thin enough to be sprayed. Thinning should be followed per the stain or paint manufacturer's guidelines. Because materials differ from brand to brand, this guide can only be a place to start. The final guide to correctly thinned stain or paint is achieving the proper spray pattern shown in Figure D. Always follow the coverage rate recommended by the manufacturer regardless of the thinning required. Because there is a variance in viscosity between paint and stain brands, it might be necessary to thin 5 to 15 percent to achieve optimum spray pattern. MODEL PRO 5.5 Spray Tip Choose the correct Spray Tip for the material you are using. When using thin materials (stains and sealers) use the smaller sized Spray Tip ➅ or ➃. For latex paints and other heavy-bodied materials use the Ceramic Spray Tip ⑧. The numbers are located in the center of the nozzle. In order for the MODEL PRO 5.5 to work properly, make sure the Spray Tip you use is cleaned and not plugged.

MODEL PRO 5.5 HOW TO USE MODEL PRO 5.5 SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS Caution: Do not twist electrical cord, make sure heavy objects are not placed on electrical cord. Keep electrical cord away from heat and sharp objects. Make sure cord is not in a traffic area to avoid tripping of persons. Do not use if cord is damaged. Appropriate breathing protection, eye protection, gloves and clothing should be used. 1. Empty Container thoroughly and ensure the Container is dry. 2. Deposit the stain or paint material into Container. 3. Begin spraying by pressing the Switch, adjust the Volume Control Knob to get the best spray pattern. A pattern with heavy spray in center, Figure E1, means the pressure is too low. Adjust the Volume Control Knob by turning counterclockwise to increase pressure. A correct spray pattern looks like Figure E2. The stain or paint should be evenly spread over the surface. 4. If the spray pattern is still not correct, please refer to MODEL PRO 5.5 TROUBLESHOOTING. 5. Hold the MODEL PRO 5.5 10-12 inches from the surface to be stained or painted. Keep the MODEL PRO 5.5 parallel to the ground without pointing it up or down. See Figure F. NOTE: TILTING THE MODEL PRO 5.5 IS NOT RECOMMENDED. NOTE: TO AVOID RUNS AND SAGS DO NOT SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN WHILE MOVING THE SPRAYER. 6. Overlap each stroke about 1/3 of the spray pattern. 7. To spray inside corners, spray the adjoining walls or surface first. The over spray will stain or paint the corner. 8. When you spray an outside corner, point the Spray Tip of the MODEL PRO 5.5 in towards the surface. This will prevent stain or paint from being sprayed past the corner and onto surfaces you do not want stained or painted. IMPORTANT Should a low humming sound and/or irregular spray pattern occur while spraying, immediately remove plug from electrical source and thoroughly clean. This will prevent the motor from overheating and causing damage to the MODEL PRO 5.5. See MODEL PRO 5.5 CLEAN UP INSTRUCTIONS. NOTE: If you stop spraying for 30 minutes or longer, retest the spray pattern by spraying on newspaper or cardboard. If you are unable to adjust the spray pattern properly, there is a possibility that the stain or paint material has started to dry. If this happens, it is time to clean the MODEL PRO 5.5. See MODEL PRO 5.5 CLEAN UP INSTRUCTIONS. NOTE: The small vent hole on the top of the Cylinder Housing must be kept clean. If the stain or paint material should dry and clog the hole in the Cylinder Housing, your MODEL PRO 5.5 will not function properly. See MODEL PRO 5.5 CLEAN UP INSTRUCTIONS. NOTE: If the spray pattern is still not correct, a thorough cleaning of the Spray Tip, Atomizer Valve assembly, and Pick-Up Tube may be required. Cleaning after every 5-9 gallons of stain or paint may be necessary for correct spraying. After cleaning, reassemble the parts.

FLEXIBLE EXTENSION AND SUCTION TUBE KIT MODEL PRO 5.5 USING THE FLEXIBLE EXTENSION The Flexible Extension can be bent at any angle to make spraying floors, ceilings, overhangs, or hard to reach areas easier. Using the Flexible Extension will prevent tilting of the MODEL PRO 5.5 Sprayer. NOTE: Tilting of the sprayer is not recommended as it may cause leakage. 1. Remove the Spray Tip by turning it counterclockwise. Remove the Atomizer Valve from sprayer and check for wear, if previously used. 2. Remove the guard on the end of the Flexible Extension; ensure that the Atomizer Valve remains in the Flexible Extension housing. 3. Reinstall Atomizer Valve into the Cylinder Housing. 4. Attach Flexible Extension end onto the Cylinder Housing. 5. Insert Atomizer Valve into Flexible Extension. 6. Screw the Spray Tip onto the Flexible Extension. See Figure K. 7. Bend the Flexible Extension to the position which is required for staining; this can be up, down, or sideways. See Figure L. NOTE: When using the Flexible Extension, 2 Atomizer Valves must be used. The longer Atomizer Valve must be between the Cylinder Housing and Flexible Extension and the shorter Atomizer Valve must be between the Flexible Extension and Spray Tip. MODEL PRO 5.5 CLEANING THE FLEXIBLE EXTENSION 1. To clean the Flexible Extension, spray water or solvent through the MODEL PRO 5.5 until the Flexible Extension is clean. 2. Follow MODEL PRO 5.5 CLEAN UP INSTRUCTIONS. 3. Replace the guard on to the end of the Flexible Extension for storage. NOTE: If returning to project with the Spray Tip, practice with the Spray Tip first on newspaper or cardboard and then adjust the spray pattern. MODEL PRO 5.5 USING THE SUCTION TUBE KIT 1. Remove the Container and Pick-Up Tube from the MODEL PRO 5.5. 2. Turn the MODEL PRO 5.5 upside down. 3. Slide the Suction Tube and Clamp dual tubing onto the two open cylinder ports on the Cylinder Housing. See Figure M. 4. Turn the MODEL PRO 5.5 right side up. 5. Follow tubing down from the tallest Cylinder Housing port, insert Pick-Up Tube into that end of the Suction Tube and Clamp plastic tubing. 6. Immerse Suction Tube into paint or stain and secure Clamp to side of the paint or stain container. NOTE: To reduce the time the MODEL PRO 5.5 runs without paint or stain, hold the MODEL PRO 5.5 below the fluid level when priming. This will speed up the time the paint or stain is drawn through the tube. The paint/stain may need additional thinning if the sprayer will not prime. NOTE: Normal priming time is 1 minute for the stain or paint to travel from Container to MODEL PRO 5.5. If it takes longer than 2 minutes stop. The MODEL PRO 5.5 may need to be lubricated or the material maybe too thick. See MODEL PRO 5.5 CLEAN UP INSTRUCTIONS.
